Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of citalopram represented by the following Formula I, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.

Description

The method for preparing citalopram
Invention field
The present invention relates to a kind of prepare citalopram shown in the following general formula I in industrial favourable improving one's methods, and citalopram is at the adduct of pharmaceutically acceptable acid.
General formula I
Background of invention
Citalopram is the anti-depressed medicine of knowing, and chemically is being known as 1-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl group]-1-(4-fluoro phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-5-isobenzofuran nitrile.It is that (5-hydroxyl-tryptamines, 5-HT) reuptake inhibithors, and in U.S. Patent No. 4,136 are mentioned in 193 for the first time for the thrombotonin of selectivity central role.As European patent No.474,580 is described, and citalopram also is used for the treatment of dementia and cerebrovascular disease.
In U.S. Patent No. 4,136, the method for preparing citalopram has been described in 193.Among the present invention, will
Figure A0280611600042
General formula I I
It is shown that 4-halogen-2-(methylol) phenyl-(4 '-fluoro phenyl)-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methyl alcohol (wherein, X represents halogen) and the dewatering agent reaction, carry out closed loop and make 5-halo phthalal ether (5-halophthalane) derivative (wherein, X represents halogen) shown in the following general formula III.
Figure A0280611600051
General formula III
In inert organic solvents, compound shown in the general formula III and cuprous cyanide reaction make the citalopram shown in the general formula I.But, described method is not suitable for carrying out with technical scale, even this is because the permutoid reaction of 5-halo phthalal ether and cuprous cyanide refluxes in dimethyl formamide is spent the night and can not finish, therefore be difficult to the citalopram of gained is separated with corresponding 5-halogenated compound.
WO00/13648 has disclosed and has passed through the Cu of the halo of 5-shown in general formula III phthalal ether (wherein, X is bromine or iodine or corresponding triflate compound) at palladium catalyst and catalytic amount +Or Zn 2+Existence down and cyanide source or in the presence of palladium catalyst and zinc cyanide react and prepare citalopram, and to separate corresponding 5-cyano group phthalal ether be citalopram.Described cyanide source is selected from potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide, ammonium cyanide and cyaniding tetra-allkylammonium.
In another PCT application, a kind of version of this method has been described among the WO00/11926, it is in the presence of nickel catalyzator, finishes the cyano group exchange with cyanide source.
Be subjected to following restriction in the method that is used to prepare citalopram described in the above-mentioned PCT application, and because a variety of causes of the following stated is not suitable for commercial applications.
-described palladium or the nickel composite of being reflected at exists down and carry out, and described palladium or nickel composite are very expensive, and be highly inflammable because they inconveniently operate on commercial size air and photaesthesia, is carcinogenic substance, and has limited commercial validity.
-because using, described method makes solvent as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and Anaesthetie Ether, described reaction conditions is dangerous and existence is exploded and the risk of fire.
Comprise in the other method described in the PCT application WO01/02383 5-halo phthalal ether derivant shown in the general formula III is changed into corresponding Grignard reagent, then by with comprise the compound that is connected to the cyano group on the leaving group and react and change into citalopram.Other method comprises from Grignard reagent and makes aldehyde, and changes it into cyano group by oxime or hydrazone intermediate.
Comprise many steps in the method described in the WO01/02383, and use non-commercially available raw material.
Therefore, above-described method all can not be entirely satisfactory on commercial size.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to solve the problem relevant, and be provided at the high efficiency method that improved cyano group exchange process prepares citalopram that passes through of viable commercial with prior art.Described method is simple, and with regard to simplicity economic and that operate on commercial size, provides various advantages.
More particularly, the present invention relates to prepare the method for citalopram shown in the general formula I,
General formula I
Described method is included in organic bases and exists down, makes general formula III in suitable solvent
General formula III
Shown 5-halo phthalal ether derivant (wherein, X is a bromine or iodine) and the cyanide source reaction, and separating corresponding 5-halo phthalal ether, i.e. citalopram shown in the general formula I is as free alkali or be its form at the adduct of pharmaceutically acceptable acid.
On the other hand, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned method for preparing the enantiomorph of S-shown in the general formula I.
Described cyanide source can be any source of cyanide ion donor that is.Preferred source is potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide, ammonium cyanide, cuprous cyanide, zinc cyanide, cyaniding tetra-allkylammonium or their mixture.The source that is more preferably is cuprous cyanide and zinc cyanide.Described cyanide source can use or excessive use with the chemical reaction equivalent.Should use the prussiate of 1-2 molar equivalent whenever the compound shown in the amount general formula III.
Term " suitable solvent " is meant any polar aprotic solvents.Suitable is that described solvent can be selected from dimethyl formamide, N,N-DIMETHYLACETAMIDE, N-Methyl pyrrolidone, N-methylpiperidone, 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrochysene (2H) pyrimidone (DMPU) or their mixture.
